LANCASHIRE USING WOOL.
The entry of a cotton firm into the field of woollen fabric manufacture has brought a new industry to Lancashire. The concern is a well-known firm of spinners on the border of Lancashire and Cheshire. Realising the future possibilities of wool and cotton mixture for home and export markets, and wishing to capture this trade for Lancashire, the firm acquired looms, and is now manufacturing and selling a high-grade flannel in dress and underwear designs. This flannel is a woollen cloth containing an admixture of cotton. It is produced in a- wide range of plain shades and marl effects^and in a variety of coloured woven checks and small designs. Fabrics of this type have not been produced in Lancashire before, although another manufacturing firm in East Lancashire has for a short time been weaving all-wool and wool and cotton mixture materials, such as suitings, tweeds, and imitation -worsteds.
